About
On Thursday, September 11th, all are invited to participate in the 9/11 Stair Climb at 8:46 AM in the Stadium, with opportunities to complete the climb throughout the day, including on the stair climbers at the Rec Center.
The 9/11 Stair Climb is a powerful way to remember and honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. The climb represents the 2,200 steps taken by first responders as they made their way up the Twin Towers, showing unimaginable courage and sacrifice. By taking on this challenge, we not only pay tribute to their bravery but also unite as a campus in remembrance and reflection.
Event Details:
- Date: Wednesday, September 11, 2025

This event is hosted by SMC Club Sports in partnership with Veterans Support Services. Whether you complete the full challenge or join in part, your presence is a meaningful way to honor the memory of those we lost and show support for the heroes who risked everything. Can't make the early start? No worry - complete the challenge later in the day; alternatives to the stairs - use the stair climbers at the Rec Center; hike from the turf field to the cross (9x).
We hope you’ll join us in remembrance, reflection, and unity.
